Copper Market Blues Amid Big Gains and Rumors
New York shares slipped again with the market weak and most active stocks losing ground. Copper moved better as large weekly sales were reported and 11 cents remained firm, while Amalgamated stock weakened on bearish insider chatter. London copper rose while U.S. stocks like Metropolitan and American Tobacco drew strength on merger and monopoly rumors, and a raft of copper miners including Copper Range and Baltic posted notable gains on favorable ore and property news. The piece also notes a rising tension between Morgan and Rockefeller interests, predicting continued volatility and a professional traders market ahead.
